Floor joint sealing in Sturry
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We’re often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Sturry, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Sturry?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Sturry, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why act early in Sturry
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Around Sturry, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Letting a property close to Sturry station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
